Russia Links Chechens Shot in Turkey to Bombing Russia Links Chechens Shot in Turkey to Bombing Oct 26, 2011 — 23:00 Russia Links Chechens Shot in Turkey to Bombing Oct 26, 2011 — 23:00 Two Chechens shot dead in Turkey last month are suspected of involvement in a January suicide bombing at Moscow's Domodedovo Airport that killed 37 people, investigators said Wednesday. Berg-Hadj Musayev, Zaurbek Amriyev and Rustam Altemirov were shot dead on Sept. 16 in a parking lot in Istanbul, in a killing that was blamed on Russian special services by a Turkish-based support group for refugees from the Caucasus. The Investigative Committee said it was probing the murders of Amriyev and Altemirov as part of an investigation into the Jan. 24 suicide bombing at Domodedovo Airport. The third Chechen, Musayev, has been closely linked to Chechen warlord Doku Umarov, according to Kavkazcenter.com, a web site affiliated with the Islamist insurgency in the North Caucasus.

Umarov has said on video that he organized the airport suicide bombing, which was carried out by a 20-year-old man from Ingushetia. "The murder in September 2011 in Istanbul of Zaurbek Amriyev and Rustam Altemirov, who were on an international wanted list, is being probed," investigators said in a statement on the Domodedovo bombing. The three Chechens were shot dead by 11 bullets fired from a pistol fitted with a silencer, Turkish media reported. While Vladimir Putin was president, 2006 amendments to federal legislation gave the president the right to order special forces to hunt down suspected "terrorists" abroad. Putin, now prime minister but seeking a return to the presidency in March, asked for such rights after four Russian diplomats were killed in Iraq. Russian intelligence has been implicated in a series of killings abroad in recent years, including the 2004 murder of former Chechen rebel Zelimkhan Yandarbiyev in Qatar and the 2006 poisoning of Kremlin critic Alexander Litvinenko in London. The Foreign Intelligence Service declined to comment on the killings in Turkey.

The powerful foreign military intelligence directorate, known as GRU, is so secretive it does not have a spokesman. shares One year on: Domodedovo probe complete — RT News Tags Crime , Accident , Terrorism , Prime Time Russia , Anya Fedorova , Neil Harvey , Lindsay France , Domodedovo blast , Blast Russia’s Investigative Committee (IC) has announced the four people charged are members of the organized criminal group Caucasus Emirate – they are brothers Islam and Ilez Yandiyev, Ahmed Yevloyev and Bashir Khamkhoyev. The Yandiyev brothers are said to have driven suicide bomber Magomed Yevloyev, 20, to Domodedovo airport. Magomed’s brother Ahmed helped him prepare, and dropped him off en route to Moscow. Magomed traveled the rest of the way by bus. Ahmed deliberately checked that none of his relatives or friends would be on board, for fear Magomed might change his mind about the suicide mission after talking to them. Khamkhoyev helped with Magomed’s training, and sent people to meet him when Magomed arrived in Moscow from Ingushetia.

The final indictment will be presented as soon as the defendants and their attorneys, as well as those affected by the attack have studied the case material, official IC spokesman Vladimir Markin says. The criminal team Magomed Yevloyev, previously identified by the IC as the suicide bomber, was a 20-year-old native of Russia's republic of Ingushetia, trained by Islamist terrorists in the North Caucasus. Russia's most wanted terrorist Doku Umarov has claimed responsibility for the bombing. The investigation confirmed that the terrorist attack was indeed organized by the Caucasus Emirate criminal organization's leader. The group was led by Aslan Byutukayev and Supyan Abdullayev. They chose and trained Magomed Yevloyev to commit the attack, said Markin. Altogether, 28 militants, all affiliated with the Caucasus Emirate terrorist organization, have been linked to the attack. Seventeen of them were killed in special operations last year, and 4 have been detained. Doku Umarov himself, however, is still on the loose.

So are seven other suspects: Aslan Byutukayev, Rustam Altemirov, Zaurbek Amriyev, Mikhail Bogatyryov, Islam Yevloyev and Ibragim Torshkhoyev. They have all been charged in absentia with carrying out a terrorist act, Markin said. The IC is also verifying information that Altemirov and Amriyev might have been killed in Istanbul on September 16, 2011. As well as the Domodedovo explosion, Chechen warlord Umarov has claimed responsibility for the 2010 Moscow Metro blast , as well as the 2009 Nevsky Express attack . In March 2011, Umarov was placed on the UN Security Council ‘terrorist’ list for Al-Qaeda, the Taliban and people closely linked to these groups. US President Barack Obama has pledged $5 million for information on Umarov's whereabouts. January terror for Moscow The Domodedovo bombing was meant to be the final incident in a series of January blasts in Moscow planned by Doku Umarov.

Two suicide bombers were preparing to set off explosions on New Year’s eve in the midst of celebrating crowds in Red Square. The plan failed after one of the bombs triggered prematurely in the bomber’s Moscow hide-out that day, killing one of the would-be suicide attackers, Zavzhat Daudova. The second bomber, Zeinap Suyunova, and several suspected accomplices were arrested shortly afterwards. It was Suyunova who confessed that another pair of suicide bombers might carry out attacks in Moscow. She named “Russian Wahhabi” Vitaly Razdobudko and his partner Marina Khorosheva. The pair, however, failed to leave Dagestan because of a police search operation. Later in February, they committed a suicide attack in Dagestan , targeting a police station and police check-point, killing two policemen and injuring 27 others. The Domodedovo blast was the only attack masterminded by Doku Umarov that actually worked out as planned. Having visited several airports in Moscow, the terrorists chose Domodedovo, as police were frequently absent from check-points, and metal detectors were easily avoidable.

Domodedovo blast The attack took place on January 24, 2011 , at 16:30 Moscow time, in the international arrival zone at Domodedovo airport. Yevloyev set off a homemade explosive device on his belt, equivalent to 2 – 3 kilograms of TNT, and stuffed with small metal particles and shrapnel. The explosion killed 37 and injured 173 Russian and foreign citizens. Witnesses recall their shock and horror in the first minutes of trying to deal with the tragedy and help the injured. Alex, from a car hire company, was in the arrival hall at the time of explosion and later helped to evacuate the wounded on luggage carts.“One of them was missing part of his leg, another part of his hand. But the most terrible thing at that moment was how quiet it became. Only those who were trying to find their loved ones were screaming," he recalls. Another witness, businessman Oleg Konovalov, was saved by his friend’s intuition. The friend suggested they step back from the arrivals and departures board – just minutes before the blast. "He said ‘Let’s move away to the wall, there are too many people here,” says Oleg.

Minutes later “a man wearing a dark jacket and cap rushed in, pushing everyone out of the way. Then the room was alight with a bright flash, and we heard a muffled clap." The attack was followed by an increase in security levels at all transportation hubs across the country. At Domodedovo itself, a complete security check has been introduced for those entering the airport, the number of officers working with sniffer-dogs has been doubled, and the airport’s police force has been increased by one third. Domodedovo International Airport bombing | Military Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Domodedovo International Airport bombing Domodedovo Airport's passenger terminal (2007) Location Terrorist attacks and suicide bombings in Russia Bold indicates incidents resulting in more than 50 deaths. Incidents are bombings unless described otherwise. 1995 Second Chechen War , North Caucasus insurgency The Domodedovo International Airport bombing was a suicide bombing in the international arrival hall of Moscow's busiest airport, Domodedovo International , in Domodedovsky District , Moscow Oblast , on 24 January 2011.

The bombing killed 37 people [2] and injured 173 others, including 86 who had to be hospitalised. [4] Of the casualties, 31 died at the scene, three later in hospitals, one en route to a hospital, [5] one on 2 February after having been put in a coma, and another on 24 February after being hospitalised in grave condition. [2] Russia's Federal Investigative Committee later identified the suicide bomber as a 20-year-old from the North Caucasus, and said that the attack was aimed "first and foremost" at foreign citizens. [6] Contents Edit Domodedovo International is located 42 kilometres (26 mi) southeast of central Moscow and is Russia's largest airport, with over 22 million passengers passing through in 2010. It is heavily used by foreign workers and tourists . [4] In 2004, two aircraft which had just taken off from Domodedovo were bombed by female Chechen suicide bombers. The incident resulted in an expensive step-up of security at the airport, including full body scanners . The city of Moscow had seen a number of significant attacks in the years prior to the incident.

In 2004, two separate attacks on the Moscow Metro, one by a male suicide bomber on 6 February and another by a female suicide bomber on 31 August ; in 2006, 13 people were killed in a market bombing ; and in March 2010, at least 40 people were killed in suicide bombings on the Moscow Metro . Bombing Edit The explosion affected the baggage-claim area of the airport's international arrivals hall. [1] Some reports have suggested that the explosion was the work of a suicide bomber , with investigators saying the explosion was caused by an " improvised device packed with shrapnel , pieces of chopped wire" and the equivalent to between two and five kilograms of TNT. [7] [8] Russia's chief investigator has stated the explosion was the work of terrorists . [4] Investigators found a male head and believed it might have been that of the suicide bomber. [8] [9] According to Russian newspaper accounts, the bombing was carried out by two suicide bombers, a man and a woman. Another three accomplices who had kept their distance from the blast were sought, [10] but the source of the attack remained unclear.

Security experts speculated that the attackers may have been Islamist militants from the North Caucasus, though this was not confirmed. The attack may have been an act of revenge for recent anti-militant operations, including the killing of Pakhrudin Gadzhiyev in Dagestan the previous Friday. Gadzhiyev was suspected of organizing suicide attacks in 2010. [8] Victims Edit The first identified casualty was 29-year-old Ukrainian playwright Anna Yablonskaya , author of more than a dozen plays. Half an hour before the explosion, Yablonskaya had arrived on a flight from her native city of Odessa to receive an award at a ceremony for young playwrights established by Cinema Art magazine. [11] [12] [13] On January 25, the Ministry of Emergency Situations (EMERCOM) published the list of casualties. [14] Twenty-six out of 35 dead were identified. According to Vladimir Markin, a representative of the Russian Federation Investigative Committee, two British citizens died in the blast, [15] however, the BBC in a later article mentioned only one British citizen among the dead, as well as one German citizen.

[16] Gordon Cousland, an analyst for CACI , was confirmed to be a British citizen, [17] while another victim, Kirill Bodrashov, who had been listed as a British citizen by EMERCOM, [14] was a Russian citizen who lived in London for several years. [18] The Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported that a Bulgarian man was among the casualties; [19] however, it was later clarified that the ethnic Bulgarian who had died in the blast actually had Austrian citizenship. [20] According to the Slovak embassy in Moscow, Slovak actress Zuzana Fialová was injured in the blast. [21] Dead and injured by country Country Edit A number of flights originally bound for Domodedovo were redirected to Moscow's Vnukovo International Airport following the attack. [8] Russian authorities directed all of the country's airports to immediately begin inspecting all visitors before allowing them to enter the airports. [25] However, this practice was ruled illegal by an appellate court in June 2011. [26] The express commuter trains that run from Domodedovo to the city were operating free of charge.

[27] The trains from other Moscow airports, where flights originally scheduled to land at Domodedovo were diverted to, were also running free of charge. [28] At Domodedovo, the surge of emergency vehicles caused public transportation delays. In response, citizens volunteered to carpool passengers to Moscow, and taxi drivers slashed their rates. [29] The blast was followed by a drop of almost two percent at the Moscow stock exchange ( MICEX ). [1] Responsibility Edit On 8 February 2011, a faction of the Caucasus Emirate led by Doku Umarov claimed responsibility for the attack, [30] [31] and threatened further attacks. [32] In the video in which Doku Umarov claimed responsibility for the bombing, he took the opportunity to lash out, calling the major powers in the world "satanic". He criticised the US and Russia for being hyprocrites, reasoning that if they actually followed their own principles, they would have to surrender world power to China, due to the senior status of Chinese culture and religion. [33] He said, according to the logic of Russia and America, "China should then rule the world.

They have the largest and most ancient cultures". [34] He also attacked the USA, Russia, Britain, and Israel for oppressing Muslims. Investigation Edit In the aftermath of the explosion, Russia's Investigative Committee stated that the bombing was aimed "first and foremost" at foreign citizens, adding that "it was by no means an accident that the act of terror was committed in the international arrivals hall". [35] On 7 February 2011, Russian officials identified the suspected suicide bomber as 20-year-old Magomed Yevloyev, born in the village of Ali-yurt, Ingushetia (not to be confused with the journalist of the same name killed in 2008 ). Magomed Yevloyev's 16-year-old sister Fatima Yevloyeva and friend Umar Aushev were suspected of collaboration in the Domodedovo attack and detained in February 2011. They were released a few months later, but remained under investigation for illegal possession of firearms. [36] In September, Yevloyeva and Aushev were no longer considered suspects, and were cleared of all charges.

[37] In February and March 2011, Russian law enforcement agencies conducted special operations against members of the Caucasus Emirate in Ingushetia, during which they arrested several associates of Magomed Yevloyev, including Islam and Ilez Yandiyev. [38] [39] By October 2011, four alleged associates of Yevloyev had been arrested: the Yandiyevs, Bashir Khamkhoyev, and Akhmed Yevloyev, Magomed's 15-year-old brother, who had allegedly helped assemble the bomb. They were charged with terrorism, formation of or participation in illegal armed bands, assault on a police officer, and illegal possession of firearms and explosives. [40] Doku Umarov , who has claimed responsibility for masterminding the attack, has not been apprehended. A year after the event, in January 2012, the Investigative Committee reported that the investigation was complete, and the final version of the indictment against Yevloyev, Khamkhoyev, and the Yandiyevs was to be brought by March 2012.

[41] The trial in the case ended on 11 November 2013. Yandiyevs and Khamkhoyev were given life sentences, and Akhmed Yevloyev was sentenced to 10 years of imprisonment. [42] A separate investigation was conducted into the lax or inefficient security measures that were in place at the Domodedovo airport at the time of the attack. It was reported that Doku Umarov had planned to follow the Domodedovo attack with two additional bombings in Moscow. An attack in Moscow's Red Square was planned for New Year’s Eve, 2011, but it was foiled when the suicide bomber accidentally triggered the bomb in a hotel room in Kuzminki District , killing herself in the explosion. [43] Another bombing was to be carried out by a Slavic Russian couple who had converted to Islam, and become members of Caucasus Emirate. However, they were unable to leave Dagestan, and instead committed two separate suicide bombings in the village of Gubden on 14 February 2011, killing two policemen and injuring 27 people.

Trial Edit On 11 November 2013, four men received jail terms for the offences including commissioning an act of terror, murder and attempted murder. Islam and Ilez Yandiyev and Bashir Khamkhoyev were sentenced to life terms in a penal colony, while Akhmed Yevloyev was jailed for 10 years as he was a minor at the time of the attack. The government's investigators said that the bombing was carried out by Magomed Yevloyev, Akhmed's brother, on the orders of the leader of the Caucasus Emirate, Doku Umarov. The convicted were accused of sheltering the bomber in Nazran, Ingushetia, providing him with money and putting him on a bus to Moscow in preparation for the attack. The investigators also said that his attack was plotted at a camp run by the Caucasus Emirate in Ingushetia.

[44] Response Edit Political President Dmitry Medvedev apportioned some blame to poor security at Domodedovo and sacked several officials – said to include a regional transport chief and a Moscow police deputy head; [45] he also announced that he would delay his departure to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. [8] Prime Minister Vladimir Putin condemned the bombing as an "abominable crime," and vowed that "retribution is inevitable." [46] In an interview with NTV on 31 January, the President of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov said that the bombing was most likely was staged by the USA; [47] [48] he also previously had made statements in which he blamed the USA for staging terrorist acts in Russia or for providing financial and technical support to its perpetrators. [49] Senior Russian lawmakers Alexander Torshin and Vladimir Kolesnikov blamed the government of Georgia and its Ossetian agents for the bombing, an allegation that was swiftly condemned by the Foreign Ministry of Georgia as a "purposeful provocation".

[50] [51] The Chechen Republic of Ichkeria , the former separatist government in exile (which split from the other half which would become the Caucasus Emirate in 2007), released a statement sending condolences to the victims, suggesting the attackers may have been desperate, traumatized and hopeless, and strongly condemning the bombing. [52] Apolitical A number of flights originally bound for Domodedovo were redirected to Moscow's Vnukovo International Airport following the attack. [8] Russian authorities contacted all the Russian airports to immediately start inspecting all visitors before allowing them to enter the airport buildings. [25] Volunteers drove their own private cars to the airport to help transport passengers into Moscow. [29] The blast was followed by a drop of almost two percent at the Moscow stock exchange ( MICEX ). [1] International Edit Many world leaders have expressed their condolences to Russia following the attack. [53] [54] European Union president Herman Van Rompuy said that those responsible for the attack must be punished. [55] UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen also expressed condolences.

[53] The Brazilian Ministry of External Relations stated that "the Brazilian Government is saddened to learn of the attack at Moscow’s Domodedovo airport, which resulted in the loss of many lives". According to the note, the Brazilian Government, "in denouncing the action of radical groups that resort to violent acts against civilians, reiterates its staunch condemnation of such attacks, regardless of its motivations". [56] Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu expressed condolences to the people of Russia and the Russian government on behalf of the people of Israel: "Terrorism is global and the response to terror must be global."

(AP) MOSCOW – A Chechen rebel warlord was behind the suicide bombing of the country's busiest airport, Russia's top investigative agency said Tuesday, adding that it has detained two suspected participants in the attack. Investigative Committee spokesman Vladimir Markin said it had charged Doku Umarov and another militant with organizing the Jan. 24 bombing of Moscow's Domodedovo airport that killed 37 and injured more than 180. Russian media reports, meanwhile, said Tuesday that Umarov may be among 17 militants killed in a security raid in the province of Ingushetia west of Chechnya late Monday. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev praised the security service for the raid, saying it "dealt a heavy blow" to the insurgents. "It's good that you struck these scoundrels in their den," Medvedev said during a meeting Tuesday with a deputy head of Russia's Federal Security Service, the main KGB successor agency. Russian news reports said Tuesday Umarov may have been killed in a raid that involved an air strike on a militant camp in the region's forested mountains, but officials had no confirmation. Three security officers also died in the raid.

Ingushetia's leader, Yunus-Bek Yevkurov, said Tuesday that some militant leaders were among those killed, but added it was too early to name them pending an investigation. Russian officials have repeatedly claimed in the past that Umarov was killed, but he has survived numerous security sweeps. Umarov claimed responsibility for the airport bombing in a video posted last month and warned that many more such incidents will follow if Russia does not allow the Caucasus to become an independent Islamic state governed by Sharia law. Umarov has claimed an array of terrorist attacks in the past, including double suicide bombing of the Moscow subway system a year ago that killed 40 people. He is seen more as an ideological than a military figure, as many militant cells operate autonomously and shun centralized command. Medvedev said Tuesday that the authorities had tracked down all the perpetrators of the March 29, 2010 Moscow subway bombings and killed many of them during a special operation — "a just retribution," he said. On Tuesday, he pledged security raids against militants will continue, "so that every bandit realizes ...

that he will be killed if he continues his criminal activities." Markin said authorities also detained two brothers in Monday's security raid in the province of Ingushetia west of Chechnya on charges of helping stage the January airport bombing. He said the two brothers drove alleged suicide bomber, 20-year old Magomed Yevloyev of Ingushetia, to the airport. Markin said in televised remarks that the security agents had seized explosives, including a suicide belt, from the two brothers, Islam and Ilez Yandiyev, indicating that they were preparing another terror attack. Chechen rebels have fought two separatist wars against Russian forces since 1994. Major battles in the second war died down about a decade ago, but the Islamic insurgency has spread across neighboring North Caucasus provinces, stoked by poverty, corruption and abuses against civilians by security forces. Attacks on police and other authorities have become a near daily occurrence.

Ya, okay media. Lately in my videos I have been praising the fact that we have the Internet to decipher what is reality and what is not. On January 24th, 2011 there was a 'real' terrorist attack at the Domodedovo International Airport in Moscow Oblask. The attack killed 37 people. Three men were convicted to life imprisonment and one received 10 years in jail for his contributions to this crime. On March 22nd, 2016 there was an apparent terrorist attack in Brussels, Belgium involving the Zaventem Airport where 11 people died and the Maelbeek Metro Subway where 20 people were killed. (Well in some screenwriters imagination).

It appears that the main stream media were showing us footage from the bombing in Russia (circa 2011) and re-cycled it as footage from the terrorist attacks in Belgium on "Skull and Bones Day" March 22, 2016. Music Credits: Breaking: Blast at Moscow airport reportedly kills 10; Update: 31 dead, 130 injured; Update: Video added; Update: FSB seeking 3 accomplices « Hot Air Share on Facebook 1 1 SHARES This is just coming across the BBC wire and details are sketchy, but a blast has reportedly killed 10 people at Moscow’s busiest airport, Domodedovo. Early hints are that it might be a suicide bombing, but take that with a grain of salt at this point: Moscow’s Domodedovo airport – the busiest in the Russian capital – has been rocked by an explosion. At least 10 people have been killed in the blast and that dozens more are reported to have been injured. Reports suggest a suicide bomber was behind the blast. The Russian Federation has fought a years-long war in the Caucasus against Islamist separatists.

On occasion, those groups have staged terrorist attacks in Moscow and other parts of the country. Those battles have been quiet lately, though, and Russia has other sources of unrest that could have resulted in an attack. It also could still be an accidental explosion in the terminal. We’ll update this post as more details emerge. Update: Reuters also reports 10 dead, 20 injured, and that it was a suicide bomber: At least 10 people were killed and 20 injured in a suicide bomb blast at Moscow’s Domodedovo airport Monday, Interfax news agency reported. Update II: The AP was a little more cautious, saying that “no immediate word” on a cause had been given and not offering anything more specific than “at least 20 casualties.” Update III: At the same link, the AP now says 23 are dead and are now including the likelihood of it being a suicide-bomber attack. Update IV: The AP now puts the death toll to 31, with 130 injured. They also note that Domodedovo had a reputation for lax security: Domodedovo is generally regarded as Moscow’s most up-to-date airport, but its security procedures have been called into question.

In 2004, two suicide bombers were able to board planes at Domodedovo by buying tickets illegally from airport personnel. The bombers blew themselves up in mid-air, killing all 90 people aboard the two flights. At least according to today’s reports, it’s also the busiest airport in Moscow, which makes it an even bigger target. Update V: Reportedly, this is video taken right after the blast. Looks like it was taken from a cell phone; it’s pretty grainy. Update VI: The Russian security service FSB says that they are now looking for three potential accomplices , and that the actions are suspected of originating with terrorists from the North Caucasus, where the Islamist separatists operate: A criminal case has been opened into the apparent terror attack. Police are searching for three suspects in connection with the blast after watching airport security camera footage. Three men who have been living in the Russian capital for a certain period of time reportedly took part in organizing the blast, a source told Interfax news agency.

He also noted that these three were believed to be Russian North Caucasus militants and might have been somehow connected to two women, one of whom blew herself up at a practice range club in Moscow on December 31 and the other was later arrested in the city of Volgograd. Reportedly, the FSB knew that an attack was imminent, but didn’t know where or when it would hit.

Perhaps the bomb was in his luggage.’ Debris: The 7kg bomb left a huge pile of rubble - as shown here - and left over 100 people injured Shock: Security guards try to assess what exactly has happened through the smoke and smog Those on the first BA flight described how they felt the shockwave from the explosion. Passenger Mark Green said: ‘There was this almighty explosion, a huge bang. It just shook you. ‘People started flowing out of the terminal, some of whom were covered in blood.

One gentleman had a pair of jeans on that was ripped and his thigh – from his groin to his knee – was covered in blood.’ Moscow police launched a search for three male suspects, believed to be accomplices of the bomber. Russian president Dmitry Medvedev cancelled a trip to the Davos Economic Forum in Switzerland and ordered a security crackdown around Moscow amid fears of further attacks. There were claims the FSB security service had received intelligence at least a week earlier about a possible terrorist incident at an airport, but had failed to halt the plot or warn the public. A security source said: ‘The special ­services had received information that an act of terror would be carried out at one of the Moscow airports. Agents were seeking three suspects but they ­managed to access the territory of the airport, ­witness the explosion which their ­accomplice ­carried out and then leave the airport.’ An airport source told a news website that a tip-off was received a week earlier, warning that Domodedovo was the intended target and even specifying the exact location inside the terminal. The apparent security lapse will raise questions as to why compulsory checks were not ­introduced for everyone ­entering the airport.

Police said yesterday initial investigations ­suggested the bomber was a man, aged 30 to 35, from the Caucasus region, which includes the tinderbox republics of ­Chechnya and Dagestan. Analysts say rebels are planning to increase violence in the run-up to ­presidential elections next year, in ­protest against the possibility that ­current prime minister Vladimir Putin will return to the presidency.
